The Toyota Yaris Cross is the smallest crossover we rent - a raised hatchback with around 170 mm of ground clearance and, in the Thai-market hybrid form, exceptional fuel economy. It parks like a Yaris and clears obstacles like an SUV, which is a useful combination here. Real-world consumption in the hybrid is around 4 litres per 100 km, the best of any petrol car in our fleet.

Any minor damage is deducted from the deposit and the balance returned. We photograph every panel, the interior, the fuel or charge level and the odometer at handover, and you get those timestamped photos with your digital contract - so there is a record to compare against rather than an argument.
Couples and small families who want ground clearance for a hill villa without moving up to a full-sized SUV, and long-stay renters who care about fuel bills. It is the most economical way to get clearance in the fleet.
This is the car to pick if your accommodation is up one of the steeper access roads above Chaweng Noi, Bophut hill or Taling Ngam but you still want something small enough for Chaweng Beach Road. The hybrid system also suits Samui's driving pattern well: constant low-speed running between beach towns is exactly where a hybrid spends most of its time on electric power and uses almost nothing.
It is a crossover, not a 4x4 - front-wheel drive with raised suspension. That extra ground clearance is what matters for Koh Samui's broken hill roads and steep driveways. For genuine off-road use you want a pickup or a body-on-frame SUV.
Around 4 litres per 100 km in island driving, which is the best of any petrol car we rent. On a monthly rental the fuel saving against a conventional crossover is substantial.
The Yaris Cross is smaller, cheaper to run and easier to park. The Corolla Cross is bigger inside, more comfortable on longer drives and the better choice if you are four adults or heading to the mainland.
